	C
Down in	south Alabama

Where the cypress trees grow

There lived a man named John looking for a wife

	G	C
So to	town he did	go

	C
It was	there he found sweet Mary

And they made their wedding plans

The next Sunday morning when the church bells rang

	G	C
They were s	tanding hand in	hand

And the preacher said

	C
	John do you take Mary for your wife

And he said

	G	C
Oh yes Lord for the	rest of my	life

And the preacher said

	C
M	ary do you love this man in front of you

And she said

	G	C
Oh yes Lord	forever I'll be	true

Now when the sun comes up in the morning

They look into each other's eyes

And the love and the faith that they see in each other

No one can deny

And the little baby boy she holds in her arms

With the power when you pray

And every night on their knees they thank the Lord above

For giving them that day

When the preacher said

John do you take Mary for your wife

And he said

Oh yes Lord for the rest of my life

And the preacher said

Mary do you love this man in front of you

And she said

Oh yes Lord forever I'll be true

Down in south Alabama

Where the cypress trees grow

There lived a man named John looking for a wife

So to town he did go

It was there he found sweet Mary

And they made their wedding plans

The next Sunday morning when the church bells rang

They were standing hand in hand

And the preacher said

John do you take Mary for your wife

And he said

Oh yes Lord for the rest of my life

And the preacher said

Mary do you love this man in front of you

And she said

Oh yes Lord forever I'll be true
